Born today, you are perhaps the most charismatic individual born under your sign, and though you are almost certain to derive a great deal of personal benefit simply by being who you are, the fact is that such benefits mean less to you in the long run than the kinds of rewards that come from pushing yourself, learning new things and expanding your range of knowledge and experience. You can be fiercely competitive, but you are always a good sport; you are magnanimous in victory and gracious when you lose, and you are always able to derive a great deal of fun from any contest, no matter how taxing it may be.
You may at some point in your life find yourself in a position of personal power -- but you must always use great care in wielding that power, lest you treat others unfairly in some way.
Also born on this date are: Charlie Sheen, actor; Shaun White, Olympic snowboarder; Ferdinand Porsche, engineer; Alan Ladd, actor; Valerie Perrine, actress; Eileen Brennan, actress.

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 4
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You're in no mood to deal with those who present you with nonsense today -- but you can't apply the same rules to everyone who comes your way.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- One seemingly minor fact will mean the difference today between success and failure -- but whose? Pay attention to the flow of information.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- While you are trying to get a job done to the best of your ability today, someone may be working at cross-purposes. Don't be slowed down.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You'll be introduced to the facts about something you were only vaguely aware of until today. You learn something new every day.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You will benefit from a revelation of sorts today, but you may not be free to share it with others just yet. Start making a plan.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Do you have all the information you need or that you were after? Today is a good day to take stock and formulate a plan of attack.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- A certain issue may be coming to a head at this time, and today you can offer a piece of information that wraps up the case very nicely.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may suddenly have more authority today than you are used to, but if you take it slow and respect others, all will be well.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Caution is advised today when you are in unfamiliar territory -- but not because of any external dangers. Watch yourself closely.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You will want to communicate accurate information to those working with you, but don't neglect how important your timing may be.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Your attempts to reach someone who is able to address your concerns directly -- and quickly -- may prove difficult. You have few options.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You're sure to attract the attention of fans today, but someone whose attitude is diametrically opposed to yours will likely appear as well.
